From the history section of that page:

In 1930, Yrigoyen was ousted from power by the military led by José Félix Uriburu. Although Argentina remained among the fifteen richest countries until mid-century, this coup d'état marks the start of the steady economic and social decline that pushed the country back into underdevelopment.

It's a shame. Luckily that sort of thing could never happen here in the US. ~/s~

The US got so good at ruining other countries that we ruined our own. The birds always come home to roost
